Sometimes called flowering kale or cabbage rose, plants develop shades of green, cream, white, pink and purple, with colours becoming richer and more pronounced as temperatures cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Mediterranean region, ornamental kale brings colour and texture to garden beds, borders and containers through the cooler months when many flowering plants are dormant. The unusual foliage is also popular with florists and can be harvested on long stems for use in floral arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough primarily grown as an ornamental, the leaves are edible like other kales, though they tend to be tougher and more strongly flavoured than varieties selected specifically for eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to winter\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Summer to early autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly or raise in trays, covering seed approximately 5 mm deep.
